Our very first fundraiser, raising 528 USD to save for 2 years of hosting costs on a new plan we desperately needed, was a real success!
From start to finish, we raised 518 USD, just 10 short of our goal.
“Okay but isn’t that a failure then if you’re missing 10 dollars?” I hear you say.
Not in the least! Because our new hosting plan will only take effect after our current contract runs out, in May, we have plenty of time to raise 10$ and can even cover it ourselves as the admins tbh.
We also had some crypto we could not get rid of until recently, which means ProleWiki, as of today, holds 816 USD, more than enough for the fundraiser and enough for almost 4 years of hosting! Wow!
Therefore I declare this fundraiser a success and as of now, we do not need any more money, comrades! We wouldn’t know what to do with it except save it for hosting anyway.
All of our financials are transparently relayed here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/ProleWiki:Donate
Congrats! You should do these yearly just like wikipedia. We gotta do everything we can to make sure prolewiki stays alive and healthy.
For now we have even 3 years of hosting safely banked, as we sold our crypto recently (finally found a way to) and our finances show 815 USD, though this will be confirmed once we get all the cash on our account (due to transfer, processing and conversion fees).
Our safety net is currently set for 2 years, this means the next fundraiser shouldn’t need to happen before 2025, hopefully.
WOOT WOOT! ProleWiki will never die!
Congratulations! May ProleWiki operate for years to come!
